The Buzz, our premier room, is perfect for larger conferences or events (up to 96 Cabaret, 120 Theatre, 180 Standing). We also offer several meeting rooms for hire, accommodating from 2-60 people in flexible layouts.

Booking your event at TouchBase Pears means you’re not only choosing a great facility with a great service, you’re also helping to make a difference to the lives of people here in Birmingham and beyond. All profits raised through our hire services at TouchBase Pears goes towards the vital work of Sense, helping people who are deafblind or have other complex disabilities to communicate and experience the world. Because we believe no one, no matter how complex their disabilities, should be isolated, left out or unable to fulfil their potential.

The Buzz is a multi-functional space that can be used for conferences, larger meetings, community activities, parties and functions. A fully accessible space which can be filled with natural light, but is also fitted with blinds and adjustable black out curtains that allow for lighting to be tailored to the specifications of your event.

The semi-sprung harlequin floor, theatrical lighting and optional mirrored wall make The Buzz the ideal venue for dance and drama performances or workshops too. A self contained venue that can also be used in combination with The Hub for either a breakout space or catering area. A range of catering options are available too.

This modern and impressive setting will provide the perfect backdrop for any type of event.
